The old joke:
I only use Microsoft Edge to download Chrome or Firefox
- lakkal 5y agoI used to say that IE was just the first stage of the Mozilla/Firefox installer.
- birdman3131 5y agoFirst and only website for Edge is ninite.com
- judge2020 5y agoUsed to use Ninite but it's done some weird installs a few times. WinDirStat was nowhere to be found in my start menu once, and 7-Zip once had no start menu entry nor desktop icon, just the files in Program Files. Nowadays I just download each installer separately which also allows me to manage what options I check in each of them.
- dvlsg 5y agoI'm still hoping winget[1] catches on so I can just utilize that for all the tools I typically use, but it seems like it's still a ways away from being fully ready. Still making progress, though. [1] https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli
